Fireman Tribute Photo

Darlene Racicot of Ontario, Canada created this marvelous sculpture and entered it in the South Porcupine-Porcupine Carnival Ice Sculpture Contest as a tribute to the firefighters after September 11th.

We feel it also captures the spirit felt by the Rancho Bernardo Community towards our firefighters. We don’t know who the photographer is.
